I think it's a good choice for a smaller IP to have a more mysterious setup, kind of like they did with Emio. Makes it more likely for people to pay attention if they're not initially interested in the IP

Hopefully I wasn't too annoying regarding my thoughts on the new Pikmin short. While I think it probably doesn't mean much on its own now, I still have been a bit worried about the series going in a direction I didn't like since 4 (even though I don't hate the game despite my criticisms with it)

I don't quite agree but I understand your perspective

It's very funny to me how Nintendo tries to make the today app have more purpose by locking the version of the new short that has the Pikmin in it behind it, yet it doesn't matter since it just ends up getting posted everywhere else anyways

Nah it's fine, I'm just interested in hearing your stance

I wouldn't bother talking if I felt your arguments were in bad faith lol

Just curious, how so?

Meh I feel everything was consistent enough until 4 came around and messed up the timeline

But as far as the mainline games go there's still a lot more to suggest humans and other present day creatures aren't around than there is that they do. Bloom + the new short aren't really canon

since either context it is questionable why some items are in as good of condition as they are (being able to find a fully glazed donut and other sweets perfectly fine under a cave filled with water for example in 2).

Same with Hero’s Hideaway being abandoned despite the “clean” look

There has never really been a clear view of the world in 2, if you’re talking about the Spherical Atlas treasure then it was because it’s an artifact from present day, while 3’s map is how the planet had currently looked

The condition of items I feel isn’t meant to be portrayed too realistically,

It’s never been “confirmed” confirmed but given the shape of the continents of PNF-404 resemble Pangea Ultima (250M years in the future), the wide variety of mutated creatures overtaking abandoned human spaces, and the remnants/treasures, it’s still clearly not present day Earth or anything

It’s mostly this coming after 4 which I felt toned down a lot of the series harsher elements and world building and felt like Nintendo was trying to brand the series as more of a cute-collectathon more than anything. If 5 is solid than I’m fine with this

Though I will say, people who disliked the short because they only play Mario/Zelda and wanted it to be Galaxy/Rosalina related or something are really lame

I’m just a little worried about how Nintendo will treat the universe of the mainline games if they want to push this IP to have more widespread appeal

So it seems like Yooka-Replaylee is reviewing well, usually at least an 8/10. The main outlier being a 5/10 from IGN

Game’s looking good so far

Most likely be disappointed but probably continue playing the older games I like and move on with my life

Real

I would love to do it though! Just don’t see it realistically happening soon

Trust me, I’ve thought of this but making a good looking costume seems near impossible (you can’t really find one anywhere as far as I’ve searche)

I have a few other ideas though

I hate sounding doompost-y but I wish I could get excited because it’s Pikmin news, but I’m more concerned tbh

I hope it just goes with the idea of portraying the “normal” world with Pikmin in it at most and has no effect on the mainline games

I haven’t done anything Halloween related in nearly a decade, but I’m putting a costume together since some friends are doing a Halloween related event at my college this year. Not sure who I’ll go as yet though 🤔

I mean 5 wouldn’t be for another few years so I wouldn’t mind if that’s what it was

You nailed exactly how I feel about 4 with the “toss out everything the others were doing, yet constantly reference them all the time”

I wasn’t really a fan of 4 making the planet into essentially a tourist attraction, but I really don’t want the post-apocalyptic vibe to be lost at the very least

I would forgive the direction of that trailer if this is what happened

(God I really hope it doesn’t reflect the future direction of the series somehow)

4 already kinda messed up the timeline, and I’d rather they at least keep the Pikmin world mysterious and post-apocalyptic and not lean into them co-existing in the “normal” world

Maybe I’m just reading too much into this, idk

Yeah I know a lot of people are mentioning the Pikmin motifs as well as apparently a Red spotted in the video under the crib. I’m not exactly doubting it, but I’m really unsure if I would like this being Pikmin-related tbh

I don’t like the idea of them co-existing in the normal world along humans
